Huh. I was mistaken that my van's firewall fuel line fitting was metal.
It's not, it's plastic.

The metal versions are around $40, pretty spendy for such a simple thing.

I read that it can be replaced by simply passing the hose through the
firewall, no fitting required. But I have Googled and searched the
Webbernet and pored through a whole bunch of older posting in the
archives and didn't find a simple "here's the parts you'll need" + how-to.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
